      Description

      The newly created Nuxeo Drive folder is sometimes hard to spot depending on the version of Windows.

      When binding the server and creating the Nuxeo Drive folder in the users home directory we should also register it as a Favorite in the Windows Explorer.

      Under Windows 7 (at least) this is achieved by creating a new "Shortcut" file (with the .lnk extension) in the ~/Links folder.

      To create Windows shortcut links using Python, we can use the winshell extension as explained here:
